Like a loose bobbin come with me as I wind through the twists and tangles of quilting

Trunk Show Tuesday #2

My
fourth attempt at producing a quilted item resulted in what you see here.

I got tired of seeing my sister use leftover
Christmas wrapping paper for a tree skirt, so I made this one for her and
presented it to her for Christmas 1993.Four blocks were a pattern called “Dutchman’s Puzzle” but the remaining
two were of my own design so that I could use up the rest of the fabric.The pattern for the tree skirt came from a
magazine, Quilting Today, issue 33 (Dec. 92).I got "daring"; all those points for the first
time. I had taken a class and practiced my hand quilting stitch. No more tying for me. Mind you I did not make a good choice for thread. It was a gold metallic DMC thread; not the easiest to quilt
with. Here is a detail picture.

I must apologize for the quality of the pictures. They were taken long before digital cameras were available.

About Me

I live in Vernon, British Columbia. I attempted my first quilt back in 1993, and haven't looked back. My fabric stash has grown, as have the number of quilts I have made, donated and given as gifts. Visit for a while and please feel free to leave a comment with your thoughts.
